This is cool! 🎊

@Hashibiro I do the reverse, where I prefer representing everything with arrows and exclamation points, e.g. A ⟹ B and !B ⟹ !A

I think both of our methods are fine :)

I could not, for the life of me, get this question right because I implicitly assumed that people had to pay attention to statistical information in order to have accurate beliefs about society, and that statistical information creates accurate beliefs about society.

Truly an econ w/ data analyst major haver moment.

Once I realized that, the question became about finding the answer that best describes why people have accurate beliefs even though they pay attention to anecdotes and not to statistical information. And because they don't pay attention to statistical information, it's not likely that any connection that stats does have to beliefs about society will have an impact.

I had to physically diagram this on paper to understand it, can't do it in my head 💀 maybe one day...

• claim: !rule of law ⟹ !individual freedom

• "supports":

  • !social integrity ⟹ !individual freedom

  • !social integrith ⟹ !pursuing the good life

Need to find the link !rule of law ⟹ !social integrity in order to make the conclusion follow logically.

The wording confused the hell out of me, but the end goal is to find the answer that captures "pie is smaller" the most accurately, as that's the only way to support the conclusion given that the only other piece of support is that "a decreasing percentage of money spent on treating disease X went to pay for standard methods of treatment"

@paigeisabel Probably because every question here states the things being compared. At least, that's why I found it easier

4/5, struggling a lot with statements that don't quite state one of the things being compared. Maybe eliminating the modifiers from the sentence becomes extra crucial here. Here's my attempt:

Q5:

At least 59 percent of households maintained a lower indoor temperature than they had been accustomed to maintain on very cold days.

broken down: ... 59 percent ... maintained a lower temperature than [59 percent ...] had been accustomed to maintain ... .

things being compared: the indoor temperature that they maintained vs the indoor temperature they were accustomed to maintain

quality being compared: how high the temperature is

result: they maintained a lower indoor temperature

4/5, not sure how I would've been able to get Q2 since I don't know anything about glacial periods. Did anyone else have this issue as well?

@kadinf253 Yup I would say so

Would it still be correct to consider "which one has a less significant genetic difference?" to be the quality/characteristic being compared, rather than just "which one is less significant?"

In Q4, does anyone else think that "them" in the first sentence could also refer to editorialists?

4/5 but my timing needs a lot of work :') especially considering I initially picked wrong answers for most of them before finding the right one.

@LeandraDJ Same, for Q4

I do agree. I initially thought it could be a micro-conclusion as well, but upon closer analysis it does seem that we are supposed to take "this is not a sustainable long-term solution" as true.

Q5 almost got me. The phrasing being so similar to Q4 is sneaky

@mutayeb no way 😭💀 (same)

@LizKazandzhi infinite money glitch!

Hello hello, I'm Joyce! I'm planning to take the LSAT this November and I'd love to have some study buddies to form a group with :grin:
